About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to heat up the cauldron with the Dragon's Forge expansion for Dwar7s Fall! This little gem can be added to any other expansion, running smoothly with any player count. The idea here is that after decades of hatching a dragon egg and years of training the beast, you finally have a powerful ally to create magical weapons and go into battle! This expansion takes place years after the Empires expansion, bringing the volcano to the center of the board. From there, the game is about transforming your precious gems into a special material called 'dragon glass,' thanks to the dragons. With this glass and the help of ogres, you'll forge epic weapons that will leave your opponents in awe. But hey, stay alert: dragons have been seen marching around, so things might get dangerous! The expansion introduces new ways to use your workers, manage your hand of cards, and collect resources to craft legendary gear. It's a great addition for those who already enjoy the base game and want more strategic depth and a touch of draconic power. The 'Take That' mechanic also gets a new boost, allowing for more direct and explosive interactions between players. If you like expanding your favorite games with novelties that truly impact gameplay, this expansion is for you!
